she's such a charmer...
Dear America:
Please start turning out some massive rock bands. I'm sick of this watered down emo crap. It was never a good thing. It isn't going to get any better. Please end this plague NOW. Kill the Used. Kill...yes, I'm going to say it...FALL OUT BOY. I used to love them. And then I saw past the superficial facade. Kill all those other whiney I'm going to cut myself bands.
Kill all the little emo kids that run around, crying the lyrics and saying that emo is their life.
STFU. Emo is a waste of time. Even more depressing, why do perfectly AMAZING American bands have to go to England to recieve some recognition? (see the Killers and Kings of Leon.)
Where has music gone? Why have people stopped listening to it? If anyone wants to say "Uhm, well, I can't find any good rock bands," I can fix that for them. Just for your own pleasure, a whole nice, big list of alt/rock/indie rock bands.

Sincerely,
A VERY concerned music fan.
But anyway. I have a few more letters to write.
Dear Caleb Followill:
I love the way you screech and slur in Charmer. Please keep doing it.
Dear Jared Followill:
Your bass playing skills are pretty sexy. In all songs, really. Especially in Charmer. I think I just have a thing for that song. Keep doing that bass thing you do. Keep looking the way you do.
Okay...that's enough. The Followills are a gifted family. -le sigh-
